Wellington Day 8

Blah Blah Blah

Sorry for the delay, I only realised earlier this evening (Friday) that there was no update done.

I think because it was a day of consolidation rather that revelation that it slipped my mind. Nonetheless, Margaret is still making great progress.

She had a good chat with Marie on the phone, and actually talks a little better on the phone as she is more likely to answer spontaneously. She is still getting cards from people at work and I think it is time for some other visitors, hopefully later next week.

I for got to say that I took Margaret downstairs to see the new car and she sat in the drivers seat. Margaret had a little 'moment' for the first time and was upset that she could not drive away there and then. I am surprised that it has taken this long, but she has a fantastic spirit and determination.

The moment was broken however by a couple of drivers fighting for the parking space behind me. Guess what?.. The a$$hole bumped into MY NEW CAR.. He did not apologise, to be fair he did not actually get a chance to say anything as I let him off with a tut-tut-tut and a slight reprimand... or words to that effect. There was no actual damage done and he still has all his own teeth.

Poor Christopher. He only found out late-on about the ongoing problems at Heathrow and had to leave early ,6:45 to see about his flight which was showing as cancelled. His 9:10 flight did, in-fact, turn out to be cancelled and he was re booked onto the next outgoing flight which was due to depart at 10:30; this didn't actually leave until 11:30!

Have to update the activity rota for next week. will do that shortly.
